There are a few possible variants, although it might be confusing to provide all of them.
It could use the keystore to keep data at rest when the profile is locked instead of simply using regular credential encrypted storage. It would eventually be able to migrate to an OS feature providing this directly.
It could also provide the option of directories protected by their own passphrases in addition to the baseline protection.
It would probably be too confusing to offer variants that can remain available when the device is locked, although it would be possible.
